Based on an old painting of the Devil sharing the Potcheen with an Angel. The song is the banter between the two: the Devil spouting out all the evil of the world and the Angel countering with the good.
The angel part is sung by the talented Melanie Susuras (Denver,CO) who Christian was in her band prior to forming Potcheen as percussionist and back up vocalist.
Lyrics
angel and a devil sharing a drink. christian blochinger
Soo they said God created the planet earth… in seven days so it seems
Angels lived up high and the devil down lo …with the humans innnnnnn- between
But every once in a while when God got too busy with the rest of the universe
The devil and an angel would meet for a drink and thus they would converse
No wine or ale or lager was enough ….for the company of these two
A Creation o’ the Devil was given to man, Potcheen the strong and deadly brew.
……………………………………………instrumental ………………………………………………….
Lets talk about simple pleasures of life… lets talk about summer and spring
Lets talk about the true nature of death… the cold winter freezing everything
Lets talk about the rising of the sun…. of the trees growing so tall-lllllll
Lets talk about the spark that explodes.. Into a fire and burns them all
Ill sing about the rains and snows from the skies… lets talk about the birds and bees.
Ill scream about the draughts and pestilence………. of the lands as they bleed
Ill sing about the waves of the ocean………. about the creatures in deepest seas
Ill Scream about the deserts and the scorching sun …….where life can never ever be
------------------------------------------chorus--------------------------------------------------------------------
O’ Angelic one.. I raise my glass…. and I’ll be temptin you with sin
O’ Demonic one you could surely try…. but this game you’ ll never win
O’ Saintly one did you ever question the meaning… of.. all …that ..you ..have.. seen
O’ Devlish one just quit your rants…… and pour me some mo’ Potcheen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of love and peace and skies of blue…….. of sunrise ohhhhh so bright
Of hate and war and ashen lands…. the darkness of the night
Of the dawn of reason… the age of wisdom… the grace of understanding
Of the Spread of chaos.., greed and guilt…. and the threat of annihilation
Clear water flowing so freely , lush thick lands full of life
The ground a heaving earthquakes a splitting the earth like a knife
Seed becomes plant and plant becomes forest breathing in the light
Volcanoes spewing lava destroying every single living thing in sight
